Is there any Syria left?

The pictures I have seen make it look like Syria is completely destroyed. Have most of the citizens fled? What on earth is there going to be left for people to go back to. It looks like London after WWII.

I wonder if the desert will just take it back.

Since ISIS is only about death and destruction, I'd say they are succeeding.
